Pixel Art Challenge: Go, Carter!

This week, we have a cross-challenge with the Pixel Art Official Discord server, a community originating at the r/pixelart subreddit. Both communities are to re-imagine each other's mascots. For us, that means we are tasked produce high quality version of their mascot character named Carter:
They have come up with many variations of him over the years (for inspiration)

They will be the first to admit that Carter leaves a lot to be desired from a pixel art perspective. This is our chance to help them out and fix that!

Next week, once the challenge is over, expect a news post to showcase their versions of the PJ Nerd for everyone to see

the main thing about carter is the messy eyes and headshape, also technically the king isnt Carter the king is called Porter but its in the same spirit as carter. The best way to classify Carter is probably the messy shape of everything, heres some variations of him that people made in a Carter-themed daily challenge on pixcord:I find this one to be really creepy tbh
